Just a normal day at PM chemisphere🧪💛✨ @students.unina #pmchemisphere #theoffice #ScienceTok #stem #chemistry instagram.com/reel/DYE28HYCf…
We strongly believe in multidisciplinary #research and we are happy to see our results finally published online. None of this would have been possible without the international #network that was built over the years 🌈
Let's mix together #melanin and palladium and what you get is a green catalyst. Thanks to all for this inspiring experience. A perfect synergy for a super paper!!! 🔥🔥 @SimonePotenti @PMChemisphere @DscUnina @ACS_AMI
Brief recap of last #graduations 🤩
Siddhi graduated in February with a thesis on radiation-melanin interactions.
Rajat and Giusy graduated in March: putative #prebiotic role of metal-melanin hybrid materials, and their evaluation as #catalysts to decompose hydrogen peroxide
The fabulous city of #Catania is hosting the XXIV edition of #CINMPISdays where the boss @paola_manini talked about the use of #melanin pigments as #sustainable #catalysts, and @SimonePotenti discussed the use of #Iridium complexes in #photoelectrochemical organic transformations
Marvellous @susanbaneh “Suzi Gian” presented her research with a poster at @wispoc, and she was selected to give a flash presentation about Ru-based electrochemiluminescent immunosensors 🧪👩🔬
#chemistry
#glowing science 🤩
So proud of Laura and Giusy, who joined the UniNa students’ team of torch bearers in the streets of #Napoli
#OlympicGames #MilanoCortina2026 @milanocortina26
Well, at least two #graduations were recently accomplished in the Sphere: Enrico as a Bachelor Student in October (the SMM should be reminded to be more efficient in documenting such events 😅) and Laura as Master Student just a few days ago. Waiting for Giusy 💪🏼
Congratulations to Laura!! 👩🎓The first member of the #team_melanin of @PMChemisphere finally graduated 👏🏻👏🏻
100th #researchpaper for Paola, 1st one for Annagioia “Joy”! Let’s #celebrate #Science #research #chemistry and powers of ten 🤣
A shared success has another taste!!! Thanks to the team led by Mirco Natali for this joint paper...enjoy!!! @PMChemisphere @UninaIT @UniFerrara @DscUnina pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Can't wait for the upcoming IASOC2026 edition! #Ischia is such a nice location for good #chemistry and #Networking, not to mention the #food
🧪⚗️⛵️
#StayTuned
Ischia Advanced School of Organic Chemistry - #IASOC2026 edition - We are ready to start...stay tuned for the first news!!! 💫 @SCIorganica @SciGiovani @EuChemS
The sphere has engulfed #Mars! 🤩
An exciting example of how good #science can arise from a strong spirit of #cooperation 💪🏼
Traces of PAHs on Mars. Out now on @NatureAstronomy the results of a study led by @inaf_arcetri in association with @NASA in the frame of the #Perseverance mission 🚀So proud of being part of this amazing team!✨Enjoy! doi.org/10.1038/s41550-025-0…

For the last #FluorescenceFriday of July, here you can appreciate two different #shades of #green from two slightly different starting materials for the preparation of transition metal complexes. We can hardly wait to see the colours of the target complexes 🤩
#Chemistry
Now on stage! Angie talking about microorganisms’ melanin-mediated resilience 😎
She succeeded in merging #chemistry #pigments #astrochemistry #astrobiology #mars in her brilliant presentation 🤩
With the precious advice from our queen @paola_manini 👑
We are glad of these chances to represent the “sphere” in Italy and abroad. Good opportunities for #Networking and good #Science (and also food 😋)
#Committed #chemistry
@PMChemisphere out of the lab. Joy & @SimonePotenti giving their talks at young chemists event by @SocChimIta @SciGiovani and Angie with her poster at #BEACON2025 in the beautiful Iceland
Today, a classic: unknown fluorescent crystals 🤩
#Chemistry is not only about applications but also about beauty
#FluorescenceFriday #crystals
Celebrating the #birthday of our former bachelor student Lorenzo 🎉🥂🍾
Delicious treats! Alcohol was available as well (remember not to leave any leftovers otherwise @SimonePotenti has to “deal” with them 🥴😋)
Hope to have you back in the lab soon 🤞🏼
#celebration #labmates
With patience and dedication, the boss @paola_manini contributed to set up the premises for the success of the PRP@CERIC meeting held in #Napoli
The #bioelectronic task force chose #melanin pigments and @SimonePotenti to perform on the stage 😎
@AreaSciencePark
Even nail #polish can be fluorescent. And even matching a transition metal complex 🤩🧪
#Chemistry #FluorescenceFriday
#makeup
Tiny glowing crystals! Fluorescent solid-state species for this episode of #FluorescenceFriday
#chemistry #glow #crystal
P.S.: don’t ask about their identity: the most beautiful crystals are made of unknown species (or undesired side products) most of the times 🥲
